Plot

The game features Batman and his sidekick Robin fighting their most dangerous foes, who have all broken out of Arkham Asylum and split into three groups to wreak havoc across Gotham City. The story is split into three scenarios, one for each group whose leaders hope to achieve certain goals:

The Riddler and his group (consisting of Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Clayface) plan to stage a heist on the Gotham Gold Reserves.

The Penguin and his group (consisting of Catwoman, Man-Bat, Killer Croc and Bane) plan to hold up Gotham with remote-controlled penguins.

The Joker and his group (consisting of Harley Quinn, Killer Moth, Scarecrow and Mad-Hatter) plan to destroy the Gotham Cathedral and spread his deadly laughing gas across Gotham.

In each scenario, the player controls Batman and Robin as they fight through hordes of goons and henchmen to reach and defeat each villain, foil their plans, and send them back to Arkham.

After clearing one story, the player is able to play it through the villains' perspective, controlling them and carrying out their individual plans up to before being stopped by the Dynamic Duo.
